Hawaiian Missile Scare Rattles Tour Players
Imagine you’re on vacation enjoying the tropical wonders of Hawaii when your cell goes off with this message…
The estimated time for impact was less than 20 minutes. Thus, brown britches immediately come to mind. Like what do you do? Find shelter? Call your family members to say goodbye? Or pray its just a mistake.
Well, the PGA Tour was at Oahu for the Sony Open. You can imagine what some of the players were going through.
In a basement under hotel. Barely any service. Can you send confirmed message over radio or tv https://t.co/qHLeQSecnd

Thankfully, it was a mistake, like War Games. But, for those tense hours prior to the news…wow!
